My boss is also trying to see if we can just raise my pay by $1,000 to avoid this. She is good and was a little blindsided as well. But I guess I can try to rearrange my brain to separate work from life. Normally I would be answering work emails right now (so my work day could progress- I get over 200 emails a day and just managing that is what I do in the early morning, late evening, on the bus ride where I don’t think they would appreciate me clocking in!)
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Jeez Sophia, that sucks. And they can’t have a virtual time clock so you could punch in on your work computer from wherever you are?? You’d think they could.
It is too early but I woke up at 5 and wasn’t falling back asleep so I guess I’m up?? Gross. But I have today off so I guess I’ll take a nap later. Made it to Palm Springs yesterday where I’m staying for December. Place is nice and I’ve missed this friend. Hoping this’ll be fun!

Our wings are not tired.
I do hope your boss is able to work out something, Sophia.

Oh, wow, yeah, I hope your boss can get you the bump. That's a whole lot to suddenly have to rearrange.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Sophia, that absolutely sucks balls.
I am hourly and also cannot work overtime without prior approval, but we do not click in and out, so me working my hours is all on the honor system. And if I work overtime by error or guilt without expecting comp time that can happen too.
Office staff being on punch clicks makes zero sense to me.

Fingers crossed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Phew!
Ugh, Sophia, that sounds so counter-productive. I hope you can get that salary bump and not punch an actual time clock!
Palm Springs for December sounds very nice, meara!
I am trying to decide how much time to dedicate to trying to see Princess Kate, and I think the answer is 10 minutes. I'll walk by when I can but not wait around.

That is so inane, Sophia! I’m glad to hear your boss sounds supportive. Hope this works out for you.
I’m jealous of a month in Palm Springs!!!
